This is another instance of the libertarian assault on the GOP that emanates from the Cato crowd and that dominated CPAC this year. Ready access to drugs and pornography may be a popular cause among college kids and Millennials, but it has only a small and losing following among the electorate at large. Dressing the reckless "lifestyle libertarian" program up as fidelity to the constitution compounds political opportunism with intellectual chicanery and over reaching.

We have enough anger built up to force Constitutional rule and even LIBertarians like this jerk cannot stop the movement.

Reading the replies here, it’s apparent that most don’t understand what he’s saying. It’s irrelevent whether you believe that homosexual marriage, smoking pot or abortion should or should not be legal or illegal. My tendecies are conservative just as many of those named in the article. The difference is that i believe that that these battles must be fought on a state-to-state level as outlined in Article 10.
Once you allow these battles to be fought in the Federal arena you give a huge amount of power to the Presidency, Congress and the Supreme Court and you get people like Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, George Voinovich and Orrin Hatch, feckless power grabbers. It’s why the US Gov’t along with their compatriots in crime UAW winds up owning GM.

Republicans and Democrats...Conservatives and Liberals...FReepers and DUmmies...They’d all crap their collective pants if we ever had Constitutional governance. All of their favorite social control legislation out the window? Fuggeddaboudit.

By enlisting the federal government in their moral crusades, conservatives do not merely alienate potential allies who reject their premises about the appropriate use of force. They sanction the idea that the federal government can do whatever the Constitution doesn't explicitly forbid -- as opposed to the Framers' vision of a federal government that can do only what the Constitution explicitly allows.

Well said. Leave it to the states, or leave it alone.

The author of this Jeffersonian/libertarian screed apparently forgot that George Washington was a Federalist.

Liberatarians just want to smoke pot without getting hassled by “the man.” If we legalized it, would they all be too stoned to post? Has it stopped them yet?

If I was a Dem and I wanted to derail the Tea Party movement I’d divide. Once again, people on FR are losing sight of our enemy and making our allies an enemy.

Yesterday was birthers. Today is libertarians. Tomorrow will be pygmy albino nyphomaniac Mormons. They are making us hate one another to stop focusing on the left.

I’m here to tell you that there is a concerted effort on the left to divide us to pass Obama’s agenda.
